Bulkley Surfboard designs have a wide range of surf board models that suit high performance surfing, big and small waves, or just a fun session with friends on a quality hand-crafted surfboard. Brian Bulkley has been living a surfing dream. At age 8, a near drowning delayed the charge. At 12 years old, with better instruction from his older brother Andy, Brian was ready to surf sun up till sundown every day. That was the beginning of a lifestyle that would eventually lead to living 15 years in Hawaii, traveling for two months in Central America at 19 years old, and shaping for many top companies in Hawaii, California, and European travel shaping for Lost Enterprises. Never been worried about chasing the dollar as much as making top of the line surfboards and enjoying the ride that life has to offer.

Bulkley Surfboards is located in San Clemente, California which is known for a Southern California surf community with quality waves and has been a breeding ground for great surfers over the years. As this city being one of the most popular surf cities in Southern California makes an ideal location for surfboard shaping. Brian has shapped boards for surfers all over the world including places like Europe, Canary Islands, South America, Hawaii, East and West coast of the U.S., Central America, and several other countries.

Brian was known to be in the Pipeline Underground. This was an elite group of top surfers that would surf Pipeline just for the fun of it. Inner glory was more important than ego and mag shots, which come with the territory, like it or not. He received recognition from storylines, mag shots , movie clips, surfing to a half dozen semi finals in the Pipeline Masters with 2 equal 7th place finishes , which was beneficial in building a surfer shaper reputation. Big wave guns became his specialty, but growing up in California and Hawaii gave an advantage to this learning curve in surfboard design.

Quality first, using the best materials available with attention to detail, available for export.

From 10 ft. redwood and balsa guns to wall hangers, funboards, tow boards, paddle boards, noseriders, semi guns, high performance short boards and even built snowboards. You name it, he can probably build it. From the kids first board, to the last board Dad will ever ride, it?s all for fun and Brian is still enjoying the ride of his life.
